I sail sailboats. But I’ve been in high seas and heard pan pan pan. If you’re on watch everyone wakes up. You see Panama Canal classed freighters changing direction to respond.

The vast majority of users are not downloading anything that’s not signed in the first place. What that does do it prevent copy-cat apps from being able to be side loaded and steal data.
Techies (I am one) really have to think beyond the scope of their own relationship with technology.

It’s just different than you’re used to. For what it’s worth I barely see a difference between IOS has less foot guns, which some see as restricting freedom but it also makes the device one less thing I have to think about (I maintain servers, I don’t want to maintain my phone too)

I’d say give it a shot if you’re near a museum with one. Worst case is you’re in an art museum.
